John W. Sharp on eHealth and Health IT

Medpedia is a new health information website based on a wiki platform. It allows contributions by qualified medical professionals only and with some major medical centers as contributors, is looking to become a leader in online medical reference. Does it hold advantages over the leaders in this space – MayoClinic.com, Revolution Health and WebMD? No doubt web searchers will continue to go to Wikipedia for medical content despite an uneven record. Overall the combination of quality content and good visuals will make the site attractive to some. Will need to check back in a few months to see how successful this new venture is.
